Chapter 239 Come Too Late
Goldid saw that the Lycan's claws could damage his shield like that.
Whereas before there had never been anything that could leave marks on the shield.
Goldid's eyes widened in shock. He could finally see through his enemy's real power. And that's not a good thing for him.
Goldid gritted his teeth and countered the black-furred Lycan's attack.
His sword that was burned by the Magic flames was blazing. When he swung it, a trail of flames appeared as a tail following the flames.
*SWOOOSH!*
But Sigewulf could predict the attack coming at him easily. For him, it was not a significant problem.
Sigewulf raised his claws to block the burning sword.
When the claw and blade met, a wave of Magic spread out from the impact.
The Lycans in the back sensed it and they shuddered. The force of the impact was equally strong. So it creates a big shockwave.
Sigewulf had told the Lycans to only watch from behind. While he will handle the enemy this time.
So they did nothing but stare at the battle before their eyes.
Grim who was already in wolf form in gray fur was watching carefully.
His eyes scanned the enemy Sigewulf was fighting.
'He is indeed quite strong. And as I thought, he also has a Magic weapon.'
Back to the fight between Sigewulf and Goldid.
Goldid attempted to land a slash on the Lycan in front of him.
He thought he would be able to land an attack easily given the size of the Lycan.
However, he didn't think that the big wolf could turn out to be this fast.
Sigewulf can bend flexibly and jump swiftly to avoid the fiery sword slashes.
And he wasn't just quick to dodge. But Sigewulf can also come back for a quick counterattack.
"GRAAHH!!!"
Sigewulf lunged. Swinging his claws from both directions simultaneously towards Goldid's head.
Goldid raised his shield and sword. He also sends Magic energy into his sword and shield to strengthen them.
He knew that the Lycan's claws couldn't be dealt with by the power of metal alone. Even though it was an excellent metal.
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
"Urghh..."
Immense pressure comes to Goldid from two different directions.
The pressure was equally strong, Goldid felt as if both of his hands were crushed by the attack.
Goldid immediately jumped back to create some distance.
After there was some distance between them. Goldid felt his hands tremble violently.
'Damn it. Why haven't they come yet?'
Goldid glanced at the gate beside him. But there's no one came out. It's been too long though.
Goldid then glanced at the group of Lycans standing behind the black-furred Lycan.
They seemed to be spectators who could only watch from a distance.
Goldid didn't know why they were like that. But he was grateful for that.
That way he doesn't immediately turn into small pieces of meat that are scattered in front of Raichi town.
Goldid was sure that if the Lycans joined in on him he wouldn't be able to hold out for more than a minute.
If their strength was equal to that black-furred Lycan. Goldid was sure that their strength wouldn't be much different from that of the black-furred Lycan.
"Grrrhhh..."
The black-furred Lycan let out a deep growl.
Instantly, Goldid felt chills running down his spine. He felt the hairs on his neck stand up because of that growl.
He didn't know that one growl of a Lycan could make him see death this clearly.
A moment later Goldid saw the Lycan speeding towards him.
'Shit! Where are they?!'
Goldid could see that death was very close. But his fighting spirit remains and doesn't let him just cower while waiting for his death to come.
So Goldid charged.
"HYAAAA!!!"
He ignored his trembling hands and still tried his best to tighten his grip on his sword and shield.
If he really had to die here, at least Goldid could boast about the reason for his death to anyone who would welcome him in the afterlife then.
Goldid and Sigewulf clash. Sigewulf immediately launched his attacks without stopping at Goldid.
Scratches and bites combined into a lethal combination for Goldid.
Goldid, of course, didn't just stay silent about the attacks. He poured all of his Magical power with all his might into his attacks.
The flames from Goldid's blade shot toward Sigewulf and burned his fur.
Goldid also manages to inflict other wounds on Sigewulf's body.
However, he was unable to cut a wound large enough to incapacitate Sigewulf.
In the end, Goldid was thrown into the air after Sigewulf bit him. One of his hands was ripped and now inside Sigewulf's jaw.
*BRUKKK!*
Goldid's body landed on the ground with a bang.
His eyes were blurry from the loss of blood, Magic energy, and unbearable pain.
Sigewulf wasted no time in walking towards Goldid to finish his work.
Goldid saw Sigewulf spit Goldid's hands on the ground as he walked towards him.
But just as Goldid felt that death was imminent, an arrow covered in flames came towards the black-furred Lycan.
*SYUUUTTT!*
Sigewulf immediately jumped back. The arrow fell where he was standing and immediately exploded.
*BOOM!*
If he didn't jump backward, then he would be hit by the blast.
"Grhhh!" Sigewulf let out an angry growl at someone interrupting him.
But soon he got another attack, a barrage of fire and arrows imbued by Magic came flying at him. Making Sigewulf forced to retreat towards his pack.
Ro came running to where Goldid was lying down. When she saw Goldid's missing arm, Ro let out a gasp.
After that, she immediately sat down and cast healing Magic on Goldid.
"Why... Why are you taking so long..."
Goldid's voice sounded weak. Ro knew that he almost passed out.
"Hold on, we've come now. Sorry, I'm late," Ro said with watery eyes.
Goldid used what little strength he had left to look at the black-furred Lycan.
His party mates were now fighting the Lycan together.
Even if they attacked together, Goldid didn't know if they could beat him.
